SHAKESPEARE, William (1564-1616)
The Tragedy of Hamlet Prince of Denmark. London: printed for R. Bentley, 1695. [Bound with:] – Julius Caesar. A Tragedy. London: printed for Henry Herringman and Richard Bentley, 1691. [And:] four plays by other dramatists, 1696-1701.
The ninth quarto edition of Hamlet, variant with the one-line imprint, and the second edition of Julius Caesar, bound together with four other plays in a contemporary binding. In this 1695 performance, the character of Hamlet was played by the greatest actor on the restoration stage, Thomas Betterton, while his wife Mary Betterton (née Saunderson) played Ophelia. This edition of Julius Caesar was thought by Bartlett to be the sixth edition, but it is now believed that the four undated editions traditionally placed between the first edition of 1684 and the present edition were actually printed around 1695. Hamlet and Julius Caesar, bound second and third in the present volume respectively, contain various marks and annotations in contemporary manuscript, apparently by the same reader, including amendments to Shakespeare’s original text and the printed stage directions. Bartlett 87 & 117; Jaggard p.308 & p.319; Wing S-2955 & S-2922A.

Together 6 plays in one volume, quarto (214 x 162mm). (Hamlet: B1 torn with loss of lower third, last leaf slightly soiled, some staining, occasional clean tears and trimmed headlines; Julius Caesar: lacking the first blank and text leaf A4; a number of tears with some losses to other plays, occasional repairs, spotting and browning throughout). Contemporary blind-ruled calf, red morocco spine label (rubbed, upper board detached). Provenance: occasional contemporary manuscript annotations – George Kenyon of Peel Hall, Lancashire (1666–1728; armorial bookplate).
